Mini-CASP

In early August of 2009, the foldit developers decided to give the players starting models outputted from Rosetta@home, by obtaining sequences for proteins that were currently unsolved, but would be released to the Protein Data Bank soon after. Since no one knew which structure predictions would be correct, they tried to give the players as diverse a set as possible.

The intent was practice for everyone for the upcoming CASP9, and to help the developers figure out what the best Rosetta models would be to use as starting points for Foldit. (taken from Dr. Baker's Mini CASP announcement http://fold.it/portal/node/986632)

CASP8

Foldit was represented for the first time at the eighth competition (CASP8) which took place during 2008, but in that competition FoldIt results were part of the BakerLab CASP team. In preparation the players had folded old CASP7 proteins and compared the results from the developers with the published structures.

The first open beta of FoldIt was released a few days after the start of CASP8. The players and developers then spent a month training and developing the program further before trying their hand at their first CASP8 puzzle. As a result, they were only involved in relatively few competition targets. Despite these handicaps the FoldIt team did well with some top places and even a victory! Overall, the Foldit players were as good as the experts with all their tools and better than any automated machine submissions.
